A lot of ignorance on one page. The very first sentence is wrong, and it goes downhill from there.

I've never heard of a drill bit exploding... :lol: Must've been Halliburton :hehe:

I wonder what technique this service company is using to create fractures 5000 feet long? Super-Frac ftw

That also appears to be an unusually thick shale formation, I wonder where that is...

As usual, the peeps here are in over their head. What the floopy does Yoko Ono know about hydraulic fracturing?

It's too bad Vermont banned HF, thereby forever locking away their vast hydrocarbon resevoirs...OH WAIT.

I think for them to be consistent, they need to be against drilling any gas/hydrocarbon/geothermal wells.

[quote]1. Aquifer
To drill down to the shale, one must drill through the aquifer. These drills are known to leak and sometimes even explode, releasing chemicals into this precious source of water.

Any time you drill a well you will be drilling through the water table. Nothing to do with HF.

I'm not sure if they are referring to the entire drill string or just the bit, but I haven't heard of a bit exploding. To be fair, I'm not in our Drill Bits division, so I guess I could be wrong. Regardless, all surface work I've seen is drilling on air, so there wouldn't be any contamination from drilling mud.

Chemicals
The 2011 U.S. House of Representatives investigative report states that out of 2,500 hydraulic fracturing products, more than 650 contain chemicals that are known carcinogens. One would think that the Safe Drinking Water Act - a Federal law - would make such willful contamination illegal, but it is not being applied to Fracking.

Also, most of these chemicals are not biodegradable. Once they are introduced to the aquifer, they will remain there forever.
[/quote]HF is regulated by the states. NEXT.

[quote]Wastewater
Each gas well requires 1-8 million gallons of fresh water. The used water is one of the most hazardous wastes in the U.S., containing carcinogenic Fracking chemicals,remnant oil and hydrocarbons, biocides, as well as naturally occurring radioactive materials, like radon, which is heavier than air and sinks into the communities where people work and live.

They make it sound like the recycled water is sprayed into the local river. I reckon they have never heard of a disposal well.

[quote]Air Pollution
There are air emissions associated with Fracking, which include methane leaks originating from wells, as well as emissions from the diesel or natural gas-powered equipment such as compressors, drilling rigs, pumps etc..

Any time you have industry, you are going to have air emissions. Once again, not related to HF.
